Microsoft Delivery Pods
Chartered Units, Not Billable Hours
Each pod is a cross-functional Microsoft team with a predefined charter and success KPIs. We own coordination and delivery momentum — and part of our fee is earned only when the outcome lands.
AX 2012 → D365 F&O Modernization Pod
Move multi-entity operations off AX 2012 onto Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations on a chartered, milestone-based plan.

NAV → Business Central Upgrade Pod
Upgrade legacy Dynamics NAV to Business Central cloud with extensions in place of hard-coded customizations.

Modernization Paths
Legacy to Microsoft Cloud, on a Chartered Path
Every modernization starts with a readiness assessment that fixes scope, KPIs, and the pod make-up before a single line is migrated.
Timelines vary with entity count, customizations, and data volume.
Skin in the Game on Every Microsoft Pod
70–80% of the fee covers the core delivery team; the remaining 20–30% sits in a success pool released only when the agreed go-live KPIs are met.
- UAT signed off ahead of schedule
- Zero critical dual-write or data-sync errors at first close
- Cutover completed within the agreed window
